For Myasthenia Gravis Mestinon helps everyone differently. I started out with ocular MG. Apparently, this drug helps most people with their ocular MG, but it doesn't do anything at all to improve my eye. My case of MG rapidly generalized, and difficulty breathing was my 2nd symptom to manifest. Mestinon improves my breathing issues somewhat, but doesn't take the shortness of breath away completely. Same with my arms and thighs; it helps, but doesn't make the weakness disappear altogether. Mestinon can cause diarrhea, but most likely won't if taken alongside a meal or with a small snack. It must be taken every 3-4 hours. Mestinon is one of the only drugs out there for MG with the least amount of unpleasant side effects.

For Myasthenia Gravis I am a 44yr old male recently diagnosed with MG since Nov 2015. I take 90mg 4 times a day. My medication generally last 5hrs. My MG inolves slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, teary eyes, difficulty pushing food around with my tongue, a very weak bite. My medication usually kicks in after 45m-1hr. My speech improves although there is still a hint of a slur but much improved. Swallowing improves but still not confident. I always have water just in case. No diarrhea at all and only once I had severe cramps but that was while I was adjusting my dosage. Taking 2 60mg tablets will probably do that. Have vomited once but I function much better while on Mestinon.

For Myasthenia Gravis I WAS PUT ON THIS MEDICATION IN FEB OF 08 WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MYASTHENIA GRAVIS. IT TOOK ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO TO GET THE DOSING RIGHT, BUT ONCE I DID IT WAS FABULOUS WITH MINIMAL SIDE AFFECTS. I LOVE THIS DRUG. IT HAS WORKED WONDERS TO KEEP MY SYMPTOMS AT A MINIMUM.

For Myasthenia Gravis I've been taking this medicine for about a year and half and it works. When it starts to wear off the weakness comes back. I'm happy to put up with a few of the side effects.
